What was the most influential mass medium in China before the internet reaching both literate and illiterate audiences?
The answer may surprise you…it’s Jingju (Peking opera). This book traces the tradition’s increasing textualization and the changes in authorship, copyright, performance rights, and textual fixation that accompanied those changes.

David L. Rolston has been teaching Chinese language and literature at the University of Michigan since he obtained his Ph.D. in 1988. His previous research focus was traditional Chinese fiction, resulting in two books, How to Read the Chinese Novel (1990) and Traditional Chinese Fiction Commentary (1997). Since then he has concentrated on traditional Chinese theater, publishing many articles on that subject in Chinese.
